Chapter 1237 Luca Was Not Their Mother
Rainie noticed the change in Lanie’s expression and asked in a confused tone, "Lanie, what's the matter with you?" "Rainie, I think you’ll like it," Lanie said as he put another piece of fluffy cake in his mouth. Even though he was surprised, he still ate it like a gentleman.
Rainie looked at the cake and was debating internally on whether she should try it or not.
After she thought about it for a while, she picked up the fork, took a small piece, and put it in her mouth.
Tommy blinked and asked with a smile, "Rainie, how is it? Isn't it delicious?"
Rainie showed a shocked expression as she uttered, "This cake..."
She did not continue talking. It may have been a long time but the taste was exactly the same as what she remembered. It was even more delicious than the ones the chef at home prepared.
Tommy noted their expressions and proudly stood up, saying, "I knew that you’d like the cakes made by Ms. Luca!"
Rainie had a complicated expression on her face as she looked at Blanche.
Maybe her memory was messed up but she thought that although the taste was a little similar to what the chef made, it tasted much better. The cake tasted exactly the same as the cakes their mother made back then.
Blanche nodded and said, "Let’s eat." "Yeah." Rainie felt like tearing up. She lowered her head and enjoyed the cake as she listened to the noise in the kitchen.
An hour later, Luca was done cooking and started serving dinner. The smell of the dishes filled the apartment.
Tommy took a deep breath greedily. Before he ate, he praised Luca. "Ms. Luca, the food smells delicious!"
Luca smiled at the three children and said, "Let's get ready for dinner. You should wash your hands first." "Okay, Ms. Luca.” Rainie nodded and looked at her.
Although Luca's face was unfamiliar, she made cakes that tasted the same as their mom’s. 'No wonder Tommy likes her so much.'
She initially thought that Luca had ill intentions, but at that moment, she did not think so.
People who could make cakes that tasted the same as their Mom's should not be someone bad...
Tommy nodded, raised his hand, and said, "Yes, Ms. Luca!"
He turned to his siblings and said, "Lanie, Rainie, come with me! Let's wash our hands."
He had lived here for a while and was familiar with the layout. He led them to the bathroom like he owned the place.
Luca looked at the kids and smiled. With them around, it was as though she had gone back three years in time. All of the tiredness and sadness melted away the moment she saw them. All that was left in her heart was a glowing warmth.
After the kids washed their hands and walked out, Luca had already brought out all the dishes.
"Wow, it smells good." Tommy hopped to his seat and let out a sigh.
Luca said, "I’m sure you're hungry. Come, sit down and eat."
The three children nodded and sat on the chairs. Lanie and Rainie looked at the home-cooked dishes and glanced at each other.
The dishes were ordinary home-cooked food but the color and fragrance were top-notch. They were curious if the food tasted as good as it looked.
Rainie thought of the cake she had just eaten and looked forward to the meal. 'The cake Ms. Luca made tasted the same as the cakes Mom used to make. I wonder if this meal will also taste the same as Mom’s cooking...' "Thank you for cooking for us!" Although he had eaten some cake just earlier, Tom felt hungry when he smelled the aroma of the meal. He picked up his utensils and dug in.
Luca noticed that Lanie and Rainie were not moving, so she said, "You guys should eat too."
Tommy looked at his sibling, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said," Yes, Lanie and Rainie, eat! It's delicious!"
Lanie was speechless seeing Tommy acting as though he had not eaten anything for three days. He picked up the cutleries and slowly started eating.
When he took the first bite, he was still calm, but after tasting it, he paused and finally understood why Tommy always clamored to come here for dinner. The food she cooked was very similar to the food their mom cooked.
After three years, he finally got to taste it again. Lanie had always been calm but could not help tearing a little.
Rainie reacted the same way. As she ate, she felt like she was about to cry.
The taste was so similar to their mom's cooking. Rainie looked at Luca.
She had taken a bite and just watched them eating silently. The loving look in her eyes was just like their Mom's.
Rainie suddenly felt like holding her and crying.
"Rainie, what's the matter? You don't like any of the food I cooked?" Luca asked worriedly when she saw that the girl had only taken a bite and stopped eating.
"That's not it. Ms. Luca, the food you cook is so delicious. Can I learn to cook from you?" Rainie asked.
"Of course." Luca felt calmer when she found out that Rainie liked her food.
Rainie said, "Also, Ms. Luca, the cake you made is delicious. Can I ask you for the recipe?"
She had to seize this opportunity to get the recipe so that the cook at home could make it for her.
"Of course. Eat, eat! Else, the food will be cold." Luca nodded. She was glad that Rainie enjoyed her cooking
Tommy also said, "Yes, Rainie, eat! It's so delicious."
Luca could not help but laugh when she saw Tommy's greasy mouth.
Rainie was infected by her laughter and also laughed.
After dinner, the kids sat on the sofa and ate fruits while watching cartoons.
Luca cleared the dishes and brought them into the kitchen.
When Rainie saw her walk into the kitchen, she asked her brother in a low voice, "Tommy, did you meet Ms. Luca by chance?" "Yeah." Tommy nodded. He had already told his siblings about how he met
Luca, so he did not repeat himself. He said, "Ms. Luca is my hero. She took down the heroes without much effort."
Rainie exchanged glances with Lanie, then looked at her younger brother again. "Do you think that the food Ms. Luca cooked tastes like Mom’s food?
"Yeah, I think it does. It's delicious!" Tommy said while smacking his lips together.
Rainie looked at his brother's greedy appearance and picked up a cherry to stuff into his mouth.
All Tommy could think about was food...
"Lanie, what do you think?" Rainie asked.
Lanie kept quiet and nodded.
Rainie felt the same way. She watched TV and glanced at the clock on the wall. There was still a while before nine o'clock. Even though they still had some time, she was already reluctant to leave. This belongs to - ©.
However...
Luca was not their mother, and there was someone in their home who was pretending to be their mother...
Rainie thought of the DNA test report and felt another wave of panic.
"I've packed the cakes for you. When you go back, remember to put them in the refrigerator. If you want to eat it, just put it in the microwave and heat it." After Luca washed the dishes, she walked out carrying the packed cakes.
